About This Item

London: Field & Tuer, 1888. Good plus in publisher's green printed wraps which are darkened, some staining, spine and corners chipped with loss, particularly to back wrapper but not affecting text, small prior owner bookplate, contents are generally clean and the hand-colored illustrations bright.. A delightful facsimile reprint of a book first published in 1823, now featuring "thirty-one hand-coloured engravings."

Bright, multi-colored illustrations adorn most of the pages telling the tales of adventures, in verse, of Deborah Dent and her five wonky donkeys, each gifted with a sharp sense. The introduction contains an interesting discussion where publisher Tuer gives a history of the Minerva Press and why this book's early attribution to the famous press was a fallacy (and why John Ruskin incorrectly attributed a similar title to Minerva).

8vo. Frontispiece, [2], iv, [2], 37pp., [9, adverts].
